     Life forces one to look out into the darkness and step into the unknown. The sentences I chose to incorporate into this art are almost all questions. Not just any kind of questions, but questions with infinite answers. Our lives are like these open-ended questions that will lead us into unknown territory. Whether the answers we get are good or bad, it does not matter because there is always much more to experience.          Through this art, I would like to inspire those who see it to continue their journey through their unpredictable lives. Pick a planet that you find interesting, and fly full speed towards it. You are the captain of your own ship, so decide what is best for you and your crew. And although the journey may look dark, there are plenty of stars around you that will help guide your way. In this vast universe, remember that you are not alone.   To my futureself/old man,  Hello Gavin! How are you doing? Where are yo...

https://youtu.be/4c4bEoT_mwE?si=FSsmKm1Urn29s8NI      The tool used in this video was “divide” in the “pathfinder” tab under “window” and it allows for you to cut shapes in any way you would like as many times as you would like. I think this tool would be really easy to use. If I were to be making some sort of graphic design, I think this tool would be really helpful in making a design based off of the shapes I had. Something I found interesting about the video was its 60 second explanation. They only had a five second intro and then got right into showing the tool. A lot of content creators like to add long intros and extra content that is not needed in a tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tZsafZEQ2E      The tool used in this video is the repeat grip tool. This tool allows you to essentially copy and paste an item into a grid format with columns and rows. It also allows you to change the spacing in between the shapes and the size of the grid. I t...

Internet / WWW / Lamarr / Wi-Fi / Bluetooth

  Internet / WWW  The internet is a large network of computers that is able to connect with one another through network nodes, connection points that allow for communication and redistribution of data. This system was created through the numerous developments done by several scientists while the credit for inventing the internet that we still use today mostly goes to Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn who both came up with the Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Published in 1974, TCP and IP became the standard for how information would be able to be shared between networks. The earliest version of the internet was created by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA but formally known as ARPA) to link computers in institutions funded by the pentagon over telephone lines (through AT&T). Military leaders during the Cold War wanted a sort of communications network without a central nucleus to stop their enemies from being able to attack one head...

     Hello! My name is Gavin Eshenbaugh and I am from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I was born and mostly raised around the area, moving many times during my upbringing. Even living in Alabama for a short time during my early childhood. My family eventually settled back in a small town named Sewickley where I attended elementary, middle and high school.        Sports and athletics have always been a big part of my life though the three sports I’ve spent the most time with are football, track and field, and wrestling. And I am always willing to pick up something new as well. One of my biggest accomplishments is becoming a 2x All-American javelin thrower in the AAU Junior Olympics. Over the past year, I have gotten more into soccer, bouldering, and volleyball. I have a great group of friends who like to stay active and compete with each other. We all hit the gym and workout as well as play sports. My family has always been around me when it included sports...
